James Skoufis, a little-known New York state senator, has dropped out of the Democratic National Committee chair race, endorsing Minnesota Democratic chairman Ken Martin as his preferred candidate.
Mr. Skoufis characterized his campaign as a long shot, positioning himself as a party outsider with a victorious record among voters who also supported President-elect Trump.
With limited relationships among the 448 members of the national committee, Mr. Skoufis found it difficult to secure the necessary commitments for the Feb. 1 election.
In support of Ken Martin, Mr. Skoufis stated, "I endorse Ken in the strongest possible terms and will use my time to ensure he's our next chair."
